star sail Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Fuck even our own 'homers' go against us, what chance have we got? I reckon he probably goes against us as much so no-one can point the finger and accuse him of being a homer. One of the top referee's from the 80's and early 90's was a family friend of ours. He was a Well fan and admitted that when he refereed Well games he tended to be harder on Motherwell that the opposition. Was not a conscious thing on his part, just something that he used to reflect upon after the games. He reckoned that it was a subconscious fear of given Well something soft and the finger being pointed. Maybe an argument for not refereeing the team you support. Only problem then would be that Euan Norris would be the only ref available for OF games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Grew Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 The ref got the Lasley booking spot on. It was not his first foul and he did pull the Celtic player's shirt and the referee was only about 5 yards away with an excellent view of it.

Yes but plenty of other players resorted to shirt pulling and they committed several fouls as well. Scott Brown indulged in jersey pulling and clouted Keith Lasley in the face and got off scot free. No problem with booking Keith per se but he had to be consistent and book others for identical/worse offences but didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
